NEW DELHI: The government today said it will set up a committee to look into the allegations that US retail giant Walmart indulged in lobbying activities in India to gain entry in the country's market.

Corporate Affairs Minister Sachin Pilot said the government will set up a committee to look into the matter.

"Minister of Parliamentary Affairs ( Kamal Nath) has assured Parliament that he will set up a committee to look into the allegations (in the Walmart case) that have come in the media and we are working on that," Pilot told reporters here after meeting senior executives from country's top firms.

As per the proposal, the government will set up one-man commission to be headed by a retired High Court Chief Justice or a judge.

The move comes over a month after the proceedings of Parliament during the Winter Session were paralysed over the allegations that the US retail giant indulged in lobbying here to gain entry into the Indian market.
